Worth to read the article rather just the headline. Few mentions in the article

1) $20B is not the cost right now but expected to be: "the daily cost of war for Russia is “likely to exceed $20 billion” as the invasion scales.

2) Article mentions also lost of $2.7B from GDP because those killed russian soldier won't be veteran in the future and won't work in private sector etc and won't bring any money to russia economy in the future.

3) Article also mentions other supplies: ammunition, fuel, etc. - they are using a lot of rockets and those are not cheap to build and in comparison to tanks rockets are just 'disposable' products.
